Ride-hailing in Nigeria

Ride-Hailing Fares & Availability in Lagos, Nigeria

What people also ask

Bolt is confirmed operating in Lagos, and Uber and inDrive also serve the city — but fares and driver availability have been volatile since fuel prices jumped in early 2026, which triggered multi-day driver strikes in March. Check current prices directly in each app before you ride, since pricing shifts week to week. Pludor Rides is in early access in Lagos: you can join the list now and be notified the moment local providers go live.

Is Bolt still working in Lagos right now?

Yes, Bolt is confirmed operating in Lagos. However, driver availability has been under pressure since fuel prices jumped in early 2026, and drivers staged multi-day strikes over commission and pricing in March. Open the app and check for cars near you before relying on a pickup at a specific time.

Why are Uber and Bolt fares in Lagos so high lately?

Fares across Nigeria have risen because fuel prices jumped in early 2026, which also led to driver strikes over commission and pricing in March. Prices vary by app and week, so compare the current fare in the Bolt, Uber and inDrive apps before booking. There's no fixed price list — the apps show live fares for your exact trip.

Which ride-hailing apps are available in Lagos?

Bolt, Uber and inDrive all operate in Lagos, with Bolt confirmed on this page. Availability and pricing shift city to city and week to week, so check each app for current fares and nearby drivers. Pludor Rides is also coming to Lagos but is in early access and not yet bookable there.

How do I check the current fare for a trip in Lagos before booking?

Enter your pickup and drop-off in the Bolt, Uber or inDrive app and the live price appears before you confirm. Because fares have been shifting since the fuel price jump in early 2026, check on the day you travel rather than relying on older prices. Comparing two or three apps takes a minute and can show very different quotes for the same trip.

Is there an alternative to Bolt and Uber in Lagos?

How is Pludor Rides different from Bolt and Uber?

Pludor Rides is peer-to-peer: bookings are matched with local providers near you rather than a single fleet. Payment runs through your Pludor wallet or card in the same account you use for the Pludor marketplace, and you can track the booking from your Pludor account.

You can drive for Bolt, Uber or inDrive, or sign up as a Pludor provider. To do the latter, open pludor.com/wayfare, choose to become a provider, and set your area and prices for rides — couriers and shops can list there too. Pludor takes no subscription from providers, only the standard platform fee on paid bookings.

Is it safe to use ride-hailing apps in Lagos given the driver strikes?

The strikes in March were over driver commissions and pricing, not passenger safety, and Bolt is confirmed as operating. Still, availability can be thin during industrial action, so check the app for nearby cars and expect surge pricing or longer waits on strike days. Having a second app installed gives you a backup if one has no drivers around.
